The latest O+S blog post said “in a week or two.” That’s all I know 🙂
roundtheworldgirl replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

Tamara, that is exciting – and the answer of course is, “it depends.” In my most prolific (pre-kids) knitting days I could finish a hat in two days, and an adult sweater in two weeks. But I spent hours per day doing it. Now it takes me forever to finish anything – I may knit up to an hour a day when I am very smitten with a project (but I’ve…[Read more]

That’s such a fun and pretty yarn!
cybele727 replied to the topic Marking the markings–argh!! in the forum off topic 10 years ago

My problem with carbon and tracing is that sometimes the marks need to be on the right side, and that stuff doesn’t wash off!

I am learning to love tailor tacks.
Sarvi replied to the topic Help me enjoy knitting again in the forum Fiber Club! 10 years ago

Linda is spot on. The only thing I would add is that some yarns are inherently very firm and some grow/bloom in counterintuitive way so also block your swatch. Even a half or a third of a stitch off (in width — row gauge is better handled in inches, I think) can add up so much more quickly than it seems it should.

I dreamt about the new O+S patterns last night. In my dream there were two of them and I was very excited but I cannot for the life of me remember what I dreamt they were … clearly sewing has been at the forefront of my thinking lately!

I have a tute for making them here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/short-cut-sailboat-pants.html if you fancy a peep.

I’ve been looking for notchers like that but have had trouble finding any in my part of the world. Maybe it’s an issue of translation – I have no idea what they would be called in Swedish.

If O+S were to carry them I would pick up a pair in no time!

Google tailors knots Sonja
I used them on hugos recent coat and they are fab
cybele727 replied to the topic Tools in the forum off topic 10 years ago

How does that notcher work, I wonder. But I’d use it. I hate notch cutting.

Nice glass head pins. If you’ve ever melted the plastic heads on your fabric when ironing, you quickly learn the value of glass head.

I once bought Dritz glass head pins with white heads. I was using them in a class and was told never to buy them because they were…[Read more]

I did not know such a thing existed … and I now desperately want one!
Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

Perhaps into the dress but have it hidden inside the lining?
Sorry , on my phone
Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

Will these help?
Nicole replied to the topic placement of the waist trim in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

I know what I do but I am not sure what it is called….

I stitch a small stitch into the sash ( 2mm) and that goes to a longer running stitch in the dress lining (1 cm), pulling so it is firm but does not pucker.

I will see if I can find a picture for you.
Nicole replied to the topic Tools in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Here you are, with baby fingers for scale 🙂
